IAMC architecture and prototyping

Web-based mathematics education: MeML design and implementation

“…WME services follow the MESP (Mathematics Education Service Protocol) that may sit on top of widely used communication protocols such as HTTP, TCP, MCP [14], and SOAP [23]. Arguments required by the particular command, expand in this case, are again given by <parameter> elements (line 3).…”

“…At the Institute for Computational Mathematics (ICM/Kent), efforts have been made to build a distributed IAMC framework [13], [14] which can support both interactive and transparent access to mathematical computation on the Internet/Web through the Mathematical Computation Protocol (MCP). For more information on IAMC, please refer to the Proceedings of the IAMC Workshops [19], the IAMC homepage 1 , and the Workshop on The Future of Mathematical Communication [24].…”

Features and Advantages of WME: A Web-based Mathematics Education System

“…Our group at the Institute for Computational Mathematics (ICM/Kent) has been conducting NSFsponsored research on Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation (IAMC) [18,25,26] and Web-based Mathematics Education (WME) [19] since 1999. ICM led the organization of a series of International Workshops on IAMC [24].…”

“…This way, computations for different areas of mathematics can be supplied to MeML pages from anywhere on the Internet. The WME Page Processor can access WME services through the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), the Mathematics Education Service Protocol (MESP), and the Mathematical Computation Protocol (MCP) [18], just to name a few. Figure 3 shows the WME system architecture.…”

Support for Online Mathematics Education: MeML and WME Services

“…Generally, several compute engines can be accessed through one IAMC server [4,5,11] which hides the difference of engines' programming interfaces.…”
